In Old Joy, old college friends Kurt (Will Oldham) and Mark (Daniel London) reunite for a weekend camping trip. It does not go as planned.

In Night Moves, Josh (Jessen Eisenberg) and Dena (Dakota Fanning) are radical environmentalists who team with ex-Marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard) to bomb a dam. It does not go as planned.

On the podcast, our editors discuss why Kelly Reichardt is drawn to Oregon, how she depicts men and masculinity in Old Joy and Night Moves, how her films make driving look interesting, the lack of movies about male friendships, James LeGros’ one shirt, and more.
